the journey of a twentysomething in New York City living with type 1 diabetes

Happy Birthday to me! I’m twenty-three!

August 6, 2008

Ian and Eleanor (Kevin’s twins) may be freaking adorable, but I think this little tyke is pretty cute too.

Okay, okay. I’ll admit it – that’s me on my first birthday.

In honor of my twenty-third birthday (that’s today), I am starting a 23 day challenge to collect donations for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk to Cure Diabetes in October. My goal? To raise $2300.

That’s $2300 in 23 days, from today, August 6th, until Thursday, August 28th.

How do you donate? Visit my JDRF Walk page here. I know many of you already do fundraising for JDRF, but if you are a new reader or if you are feeling generous, I would really appreciate any amount you can offer.

Think of this as a birthday present that benefits you too.

Please feel free to pass this along via your blog, Twitter, Facebook or wherever you like to hang out. Thanks!
